QUESTION 4
Which of the following findings would be abnormal in a postpartal woman?
A. Chills shortly after delivery
B. Pulse rate of 60 bpm in morning on first postdelivery day
C. Urinary output of 3000 mL on the second day after delivery
D. An oral temperature of 101F (38.3C) on the third day after delivery
Answer: D Explanation:
(A) Frequently the mother experiences a shaking chill immediately after delivery, which is related to a
nervous response or to vasomotor changes. If not followed by a fever, it is clinically innocuous. (B) The
pulse rate during the immediate postpartal period may be low but presents no cause for alarm. The body
attempts to adapt to the decreased pressures intra-abdominally as well as from the reduction of blood
flow to the vascular bed. (C) Urinary output increases during the early postpartal period (12–24 hours)
owing to diuresis. The kidneys must eliminate an estimated 2000–3000 mL of extracellular fluid
associated with a normal pregnancy. (D) A temperature of 100.4F (38C) may occur after delivery as a
result of exertion and dehydration of labor. However, any temperature greater than 100.4F needs further
investigation to identify any infectious process.

during the temperature rise rather than after a prolonged elevation. (B) Febrile seizures may recur and
are more likely to do so when the first seizure occurs in the 1st year of life. (C) There is little risk of
neurological deficit, mental retardation, or altered behavior secondary to febrile seizures. (D) Febrile
seizures are associated with disease of the central nervous system.
